What I got done on my motor tonight with pics

[Kevin Johnson]

Drag racing?

Well, first off a lot of the people that initially lent me engines to measure were drag racers and they were all fully aware of scrapers.

But here is a quote from Marvin Brautigam -- he is using one of our scrapers; he might be able to give you a time slip:

"Kevin, this is just a note to let you know about the results of
installing the crank scraper on my 440 Chrysler drag car. I won the first time out with it on the car and the oil pressure has NEVER!! been this stable while racing, or hard on the brakes. Plus, the car ran the best E.T. ever in weather that was less than ideal. I can hardly wait to give it a little tuning.

Thanks for working with me,
Marvin"

Prove it with a before and after timeslip. Once I see more than .1 seconds shaved off Ill be the first one to install one. Were talking drag here not auto cross.

That looks great man, I wouldnt wanna drive it, might get dirty

its starting to feel I will never beable to drive it again. I am just waiting on my comp cams and thats really it for the big doller stuff just odds and ends to tie it up. Sucks not having a car but when its done I will be happy with it, and thats were all the work pays off. You cant rush an engine project like this you will always will run into problems of some type. Mostly having all the parts you need when you need them and having the money available to buy them.

Yea man, would you be interested in fabing a couple of those up for a reasonable price? Thats a much easier set-up than the ones I've seen that you have to weld into the oil pan. Easier to install too!

The thing you weld in the pan is a windage screen/tray... it keeps the crank from whipping the oil in the pan... different than the scraper, and not a bad idea to use both.

You weld that thing in there? Thats some news to me.

Not always... some just bolt in like the crank scraper did... some are welded into the oil pan
